Jnst Discorered.

We have been informed by relia
bic parties that the following is true
There lives a man in this count,
named William Caudle, now abou
eighty years old, who never saw
COURTHOUSE, nor was never in towr
OF any size whatever. He has not
as many might suppose, been at
fhcted so as not to have been able
to make a trip, but has been q
healthy man, and simply had no
desire to visit a town.
He once started to this place, but
the trip was occasioned and cut
short in the following manner
There is another resident of this
county named VIM. Caudle, for
whom the Sheriff some years ago
had summons to appear before
the Lawrence couft; and by mis-
take the Sheriff summoned the sub.
ject of this sketch. The fear of be.
ing fined IL he did not attend in.
creased'Mr. Caddle's desire to see
courthouse and he sthereibre made
preparations for the journey. When
he had gotten as far as the mouth
OF Hood, (which is twenty miles
from louisa he met some parties
whom he would probably have in
iicted had he Appeared before fhe
grand jury. Taking advantage of
his ignorance, the parties set about
10 cause Mr.. Caudle to return home,
BY telling him that he would be fin.
ID if he hitched his horse within
he limits of the town, or if he walk.
ID on the pavements, and that he
would be compelled 10 hire some
me to pilot him to the courthouse
md many other absurd stories. He
hen logically concluded that he
would rather remain at home and
'e fined for not answering the sum-
mons than to come to town and be
ined for the violation ofmany laws
which he was confident he could
lot obey. So be Immediately re-
ugned to his home.
Mr. Caudle is a man of ordinary
and resides near the
ohnson county line.

NATIONAL DRILL.
The Fourth Day-The Texans Capture
the Hearts of the Audience.

WASHINGTON. May ~.
The fourth day of the national drill was
ushered in BY fair weather. When at o'clock
the indianapolis light infantry filed into the
ground fully 5000 people greeted them with
applause. The indianapolis boys were fol-
lowed by the Alexandria light infantry. The
Jackson, Mich, Rifles were next well re-
ceived. The Moline Rifles of Brooklyn fol-
lowed. The Belknap Rifles of San Antonio,
Texas, captured the hearts of the large audi
euce. This company went through difficult
military evoluions with such precision that
each movement drew forth loud applause. In
the manual of arms this company appeared
to come the nearest of any in attaining appar-
ent perfection exhibited by the Toledo Cadets
yesterday.
The competitive rifle practice was compet-
ed at the arsenal this morning by firing at
500 and 600 yard ranges. There were orig
inal entries from % States and 80 competi-
tors were qualified at short ranges and 80
completed the full scores. The first prize
was won by Lieut.. Pollard of Washington
light infantry corps. The highest possible
score was 200.
Between 2.30 and o'clock the competitive
battalion drill took place, in which the Fifth
Rhode Island, Louisville Legion and Wash
ington Light 1nfanty, SO men, each partici-
psted. During the drill of the Rhode Island
ers the rain drove the spectators for the sec
ond time to shelter. The men on parade
paid no attention to it.
By far the most entertaining feature of the
day was the individual competitive drill, con-
Quoted on the country spelling match princi-
pie, which came next after the battalion COM
petition. Sixty men were selected, two from
each company. They were welcomed with
cheers as they drew up in line before Judge
MARQUEE. AT the very outset eight men were
retired for failure to place their pieces against
their toes at ''order arms" The drill was
exceedingly severe. Four keen-eyed officers
were on the lookout for errors. Traps and
pitfalls were set for the unwary, and orders
came thicker and more abruptly as the work
went on. The excitement rose to fever heat
when only four men were left standing, to
three of whom prizes must fall. The Belk-
nap Rideman was the first to go down, and
the final struggle lay between the San An
tonic Rifeman, the Washington Light Infan.
tryman and the sergeant of the Louisville
Legion.
The vctors in the contest are Private II.

IRISH TROUBLES.
Tenants Defending their Homes Against
Evictors-EXciting scenes.
DUBLIN, May 27

DUBLIN, May q.
Evictions are being carried on at Bodvke
and are attended by exciting scenes. Friday
a fight occurred and the police charged the
people with batons. A sheriff who was in
command of the officers was seized sifh epi-
lepsy truce was had at once and it was
used by the people to strengthen their de-
fences. The persons to be evicted are all
barricaded in their houses and have plenty
of friends along to assist In resisting the po-
lice. 1t is believed that severe fighting nd
bloodshed is inevitable.
The Freeman's Journal denies that Parnell
has been guilty of cruelty to Mr.. Kennedy,
one of the Irish leaders Avondale tenants, as
charged Thursday by the Dublin Express.
The Journal says that instead of being
coerced to exchange his good farm for infer
ior land, as averred by the tory paper, Ken.
nedy sought the exchange, desiring to occu-
py the less improved land during the grazing
season. In order to accomplish the exchange
Kennedy went to Parnell's agent and offered
half of . years rent due on the farm minus
% Der cent which he asked - q reduction.
The agent offered 70 cancel Kennedys agree
ment II he would pay the entire years rent
minus 80 Der cent. which be offered - re-
ductien. This Kennedy rsfused.

MAINE DISPATCHES,
A BIG FAILURE.
One OF the Oldest Dry Good. Firms in
BiddefOrd Goes Under,
BIDDEFoRD, Nav q

BIDDEFoRD, May 81.
1t was rumored in business circles late
Tuesday, that one of the largest busine..
houses IN Biddeford was on the eve of failure,
which would create financial sensation such
as Biddeford has not known for years, and
would carry down one of the most extensiv,
hrms in the city. Investigation and inquiry
IN various trade quarters failed to reveal the
name of the embarrassed firm, until Friday
noon, when it was learned that the house was
that of c. E. & f. p. Bracket, one of the
largest drygoods firms in the city, who also
haye branch stores in Norway and Farming
ton, N. II.
The amount of liabilities and assets is not
known and members of the firm saw they
will not be able to make statement until
late this afternoon. 1t is believed, however.
that the liabilities will be surprisingly large
and there is doubt if the firm will be able to
resume.
The heaviest creditors are said to be A.
Little Co., of Portland, and Wheeler,
Conant & B.odgett of Boston
Mr.. Wade, representing the first named
house, and Mr.. Wheeler OF the latter, are in
town, this afternoon, looking over the books
of the Brackets, and an assignment will
probably be made tonight.
The firm occupies one of the oldest dry
goods stands in the city, and has been in bus
mess fifteen or sixteen years, having succeed

THE BURNED THEATRE.
Ten Women Rescued by Two Men-More
Bodies fonnd.
PARIS, Nav 81

PARIS, May 27.
Two compositors of the Lanterns. who es.
capped from the Opera Comique fire, say that
the scenery was fully on FIRE in FIVE minutes
and that in fifteen minutes the whole interior
OF the theatre was ablsze. The greater part
OF the public, they think. succeeded in escap-
ing by the staircase, but that the smoke
quickly sufocated those in the upper part OF
the house who were unable TO get out. On
their way out they passed over bodies at
every step. These were mostly of women
who had tainted or who had been trampled
upon by the crowd. The two men succeeded
IN rescuing ten women, but were themselves
soon driven out by the suffocating smoke.
The electric light had already been intro
duced ,R the theatre and in few more nights
the gas would have been altogether superced-
ed.
The examination Of the ruins of the Opera
Comique for the remains of victims contin-
ues vigorously. Twenty bodies have been
found in the dining room. These victims
had all met death by sutiocation. The fire.
men saw other bodies but were unable TO
reach them. They believe there are $50
bodies in the ruins.
The roll call of the attaches OF the Opera
Comique. made Friday, shows that Il actors
and employees are missing, exclusive of the
they were needed, and of whom no record
was kept.
A later official report announces that 6S
bodies have been recovered. The work of
searching the ruins continues tonight with
the aid of electric lights. Inquiries for miss
ing friends are still being received.
The approaches TO the burned theatre are
crowded with sight-seers. pamphlet was
circulated on the streets today, the moral of
which was that if there had been series of
ministers of fine arts with as high a sense of
public duty as had been shown by Gen. Bou-
langer, the disaster would not have occurred
The pamphlet was largely bought and pro-
duced visible effect upon the populace,
which was heightened by the occasional pas
sage of an ambulance containing a corpse.
An audacious fire brand could have persuad-
ed the crowd to do anything. All Paris
turned out TO witress the transfer OF corpses
to the mornue.
Inquiries at the leading hotels show very
few English. No Americans are missing.

A MURDEROUS ATTACH.
Terrible Tragedy in a Convict Camp in
Kentucky.
batavia, Ohio, NAV 81.

BATAVIA, Ohio, May q.
A terrible tragedy occurred at the convict
works on the Kentucky side directly opposite
New Richmond Yesterday afternoon. At this
point are located the dwellings of some 80
convicts who are at work on the Huntington
railroad. Mr.. Marshall, the overseer. was
struck fearful blow with shovel on the
back of the head by white convict, who
added second and third blow. The colored
convicts rushed forwa and atte mpted to get
between the murderous white man and the
guard. The guard ordered them to step
aside, which being refused he fred upon
them. The weapon was loaded to the muz
zle with buckshot and by sidgle discharge
all three of the convicts were wounded, two
of them mortally. One of the colored con-
victs was shot through the head, killing him
instantly. The first assailant was shot
through the lungs and will die. Marshall is
unconscious and will probably die.
